Hi all, Just thought I'd check to see if anyone was working on part 32475 ((URL) It's a horrid part to work on so I'm hoping someone has but realise it's probably unlikely. Thanks, Tim (17 years ago, 27-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Mathematics to use 1-8tdisk is easy, divide the width by 0.707 and height by 0.293 (1-(sqrt(2)/2) to get size of the tdisk. Move the center accordingly. Yes I have used that trick several times, using regular disc/ndis primitives, inlining (...) (17 years ago, 27-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad)
